It's Quiet thread 14 - 'do one' edition

Haaland makes way more sense than Kane. He is significantly younger, not inury prone and a better player.

 

[simon23]

Sorry Simon but you don't score the goals Kane scores if you're overrated.

Stays fit he'll pass Alan Shearers record.

I think he would struggle with the way teams defend against us - they defend differntly and a lot more compact against us than they do against spurs - that is a huge difference

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

2009– Tottenham Hotspur 206 (142)

He's made just 206 appearances in 11 years and scored 142 goals?

Fuck me, that is an incredible record for so few games.

Agreed

Longer term the much better option

Let spurs drown with Kane onboard I say - if we have 100m to spend on Kane then its better spent elsewhere on someone long term

Raiola will dictate where and when.

 

[doobyedoobye]

Haaland would cost similar to Kane ....

 

[Keeper!]

We can't be as daft as to buy Kane....

 

[mccity]

He's made just 206 appearances in 11 years and scored 152 goals?

Fuck me, that is an incredible record for so few games.

I don't think he actually broke into the team until early 2014.

 

[Keeper!]

I don't think he actually broke into the team until late 2013/early 2014.

Still very few games

 

[decmancity]

Personally think Kane would be a huge mistake - i think his injury record is concerning. I dont think his personality fits with the club either. (and that is seemingly important to the club/Pep). I also think he is vastly overrated

I think Poch ran him into the ground with injuries, a fresh start could be good for him. What is wrong with his personality? i would argue he doesn't really have one or is that what you mean?

Incredible amount of goals, but the games is a major worry.

And it's not going to get better with age.

 

[CWMCFC]

That would normally be the general consensus, but Sergio's age and contract status has to be a factor.

I completely understand the reasons behind why we would want to sign another striker right now, but I just don't see the practicalities of it working.

We can only just offer Sergio/Jesus enough game time to keep them happy now, introduce another world class £100m+ player who will want to start every game and one of them is then reduced to getting ~1000 minutes per season, which is what you would expect from an academy player on the periphery.

Buying Martinez now and keeping him on loan at Inter for a season would be something that could work.

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

Is he able?:))

 

[Tricky_Trev]

He's made just 206 appearances in 11 years and scored 152 goals?

Fuck me, that is an incredible record for so few games.

He didn’t start playing for spurs properly until about 2014? So 6 years not 11

 

[decmancity]

Incredible amount of goals, but the games is a major worry.

And it's not going to get better with age.

If he plays for 206 times and scores 152 for us I think we have had our moneys worth.

Yes he has none is what i was getting at - Comes across as thick as two short planks as well - just dont like the guy and it will be an insuttl to Sergio's legacy to have him take over in my opinion (not that there is any room for sentiment in football I suppose)

 

[domalino]

I'd like to see his actual game stats. I wouldn't be surprised if Sergio has missed just as much football since the age of 27?

You are possibly right but Kane isnt fit to lace sergios boots

Since 2017/18

Harry Kane 121 games 88 goals 13 assists.

Sergio Aguero 117 85 goals 21 assists.

I suppose you have to factor in Sergio playing in the best side in English football history, and Kane playing for Spurs.

But the main takeaway for me is that Aguero's biggest problem is injuries, and he's only played 1.3 games a season less than Kane. We will have the same issues if we replaced 1 with the other.

 

[mccity]

Still very few games

He's averaged 32 league games a season since he broke in.

This is a bigger issue, recent injuries.

His personality? He's clean cut, family man, never in any trouble off the field, sounds like the perfect Pep profile to me.

Kane is an absolutely top-class striker, I can't see what others don't?

I wouldn't want to see him leading the line for Liverpool or United, put it that way!
